How to Get Your Motorcycle Licence in New Brunswick (Class 6)

The New Brunswick path at a glance

Mandatory training course → 12-month motorcycle GDL program → on-road test → full Class 6. The steps below walk through what each stage requires.

Step by step

1. Complete the mandatory training course. New Brunswick requires an approved motorcycle training course before you can apply for a motorcycle licence at all.
2. Study the official handbook. Pair it with free practice tests on the same topics so nothing on test day feels new.
3. Pass the knowledge test online (vision test at any Service New Brunswick office except Campobello). We couldn't find an official question count or pass mark from Service New Brunswick. Our mock exam uses a practice standard of 50 questions with 80% to pass. Confirm the current format with Service New Brunswick. Our Canadian road signs guide illustrates common Canadian signs with pictures.
4. Complete the 12-month GDL program. Held without interruption: zero alcohol and drugs, no riding from sunset to sunrise, no passengers, no towing. New Brunswick doesn't stage this into separate levels — it's one program.
5. Pass the on-road test at the end of the 12 months for your full Class 6.

Learner restrictions

• Zero alcohol and drugs throughout the 12-month program
• No riding from sunset to sunrise
• No passengers, no towing

Fees, learner conditions, and test formats change over time. This guide describes the process as of 2026 — always confirm current requirements with Service New Brunswick. Expect a modest fee for the knowledge test and separate fees for road tests.

How to pass the knowledge test on the first try

Practice by topic until every chapter sits consistently above the pass mark, then run full-length mock exams. The free New Brunswick practice test covers road signs, rules of the road and riding skills, chapter by chapter — 50 questions (practice standard), 80% (practice standard) to pass, illustrated road signs — and tracks which chapters still need work.
